Binjimen Victor isn’t the only Ohio State wide receiver who will see more playing time for the remainder of this season as a result of Austin Mack being sidelined by foot surgery.
Victor, who Urban Meyer singled out Monday as the Buckeyes’ most improved player from the summer until now, is expected to start at X receiver in place of Mack on Saturday against Nebraska. That said, Meyer said Wednesday that Terry McLaurin, who is typically Ohio State’s starting Z receiver, will also see playing time at the X position on Saturday.
True freshman Chris Olave, meanwhile, is set to join the Buckeyes’ six-man receiver rotation at the Z position, where he will rotate with Johnnie Dixon.
